Re: Here's # of Rear Diff Failures Reported

"2 seperate fluid leaks from rear diff. Pinion seal failed, right rear axle seal failed. R and R all parts necessary and replaced rear diff pinion seal. R and R all parts necessary and replaced right axle shaft, seal and associated parts. Topped off fluid. Road Tested".
Is this a failure? Should I worry more that it won't be a permanent fix? The truck has 53K and the warrenty is up in 7, obviously. Since the fix, it feels pretty tight actually, but yesterday noticed an annoying squeek coming from the rear right side. FYI, I also intalled a magnaflow exhaust last Saturday (sounds great), but I don't think the squeek is coming from that.
I went to bring it into the dealership today and while driving there, the sqeak had gone away. It was raining pretty hard, but my radio was off and I didn't notice it one bit. What's up with that? Does anyone have any advice if I should do anything else for the moment. It would be appriciated and I am a noob, but trying to learn all about the Titans daily! Thanks.
Cheers.

If you have the original "spider gears" I'd ditch it and go with True-Trac A.S.A.P.....they should have replaced it.
On the squeaks could be:
1- Red Rubber boot rubbing on the rear shock if it is the OEM Rancho
2- Leaf spring bracket rubbing on a leaf....can lube for first fix and bend the braket out for a "final-fix".
